1、The diet culture of cross-cultural perspective 1 Chinese and western food culture has a different focus 1.1 pay more attention to western diet nutrition and survival After the British and American people pay attention to eat food to keep body healthy strong and able to resist diseases, and other asp
2、ects about food very much. Although the food taste invariably, westerners think must also continue to eat, because nutritious food. Westerners, in other words, for a particular focus on food nutrition is tie-in, can fully absorb and itself. In western cooking everywhere pays attention to nutrition a
3、nd ignore the phenomenon of taste, such as: cold aperitif wine chilled with ice in it after drinking after taste nerve sensitivity greatly reduced on the surface of the tongue, and even complete loss, unable to distinguish between the taste of diet; Eat steak tend to require rare even with blood; Wh
4、ite boiled potatoes and so on. Refuse to use monosodium glutamate, the west think that MSG no nutrition but also side effects; Raw tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, cabbage, onion, broccoli and other vegetables. 1.2 the Chinese diet more pursuit of taste and enjoy Since ancient times, the Chinese diet af
5、ter is the food to taste first. In Chinese cooking is the pursuit of the highest standards. Eat, they think, not just to eat, nutritious, sometimes in front of the temptation of delicious food, even if eat eat then and primarily to the pursuit of the enjoyment of taste. Although Chinese people are v
6、ery pay attention to tonic foods, diet, advocate using appropriate diet to achieve the goal of nourishing health preservation, but the first requirement that cooking delicious, so the biggest weakness is the nutritional problems of the Chinese diet. Two Chinese and western food culture analysis of t
7、he specific differences 2.1 the differences in diet In China, whether private or family reunion dinner, or for business, business, wedding, etc at the banquet, everybody is sitting in front of a round table, this can be formally build a kind of polite, unity, sharing fun atmosphere. On the table and
8、 the delicious food, not only for a table people appreciate the taste, and to communicate the feelings of medium. During the dinner, people toast each other, make food, mutual reflect the comity, respect the good moral character. This reflects the and culture of the Chinese nation, as well as the co
9、mmon pursuit of happy mentality. In western banquet, although food and wine are important, but mainly as a foil. A party is the core of communication, conversation between the table through the host, reach the purpose of promoting friendship. The more obvious differences with the Chinese diet is gen
10、erally used to western buffet, which sets out all the food, so that you need, and also does not have the fixed seat at the dinner table, people can walk freely between subject and object, this convenient people communicate feelings with each other, this is also the performance of the westerners resp
11、ect for self, respect for individuality. Above all, enhance friendship, communication emotion is Chinese and western banquet common purpose, the difference just reflect a Chinese banquet is more of the friendship of all the guests, and western banquet reflects the companionship is more in individual
12、, such as between adjacent guests. (1) the Chinese emphasis on harmony, pay attention to the harmony and the overall. The Chinese nation has always been the pursuit of the realm of and and close, reflect to the cooking is to reconcile the five tastes, in the process of food cooking, while maintainin
13、g the natural flavor material, follow the basic law of Yin and Yang five lines of harmonic five tastes, so as to achieve the delicious food. Chinese food when cooking, therefore, to two or more of the raw materials, and a variety of spices to reconcile. Therefore, Chinese food is often with its deli
14、cious and unique charm. (2) the westerners seek freedom, pay attention to personality and respectively. China and the west diet culture characteristics of obvious difference is heavy harmony in China, while the western heavy respectively. In western food, vegetables are unrelated all kinds of raw ma
15、terials, generally speaking, fish is fish, chicken is chicken, cooking will never match each other or with other raw material collocation, even if there is tie-in, can only reflect in the plate. For example: stewed beef and potatoes this dish, not cooked in a pan of potatoes and beef, but after the
16、beef cooked again tie-in boiled potatoes. This fully embodies the western social culture heavy respectively. 2.2 the differences in diet object In western opinion, food is mainly used to cure hunger, so tend to be large pieces of meat, the whole piece of chicken, while China is often arbitrary use o
17、f ingredient, in western opinion no use value of raw materials, in China may be very good; West chefs feel that there is no way to deal with the raw material, and in the hands of the Chinese chef has a magical function. Westerners pay more attention to reasonable collocation of nutrition, such as ca
18、nned, fast food, such as food, although the same taste, but has rich nutrition, and save time, so the westerners tend to have more than the Chinese generally strong body, a tall, long legs, shoulder width, muscular. Therefore, in view of the western diet object has obvious differences, some people t
19、hink that the Chinese plant character, the westerners are animal character. In addition, the Chinese are generally two meals a day, or three meals, while the westerners usually meals a day. (1) adhere to the scientific and standardized western cooking. In western recipes are measured in g for raw ma
20、terials, and they tend to like with a recipe to buy food, cooking dishes. But in front of a complex process, they are often powerless, and there is lack of characteristic directly led to western food. Such as: KFC when cooking Fried chicken, not only should according to the recipe ingredients, but a
21、lso in strict accordance with the specification control moderate oil Fried chicken. As a result, the taste of KFCs around the world are the same. In addition, cooking specification also accurately ingredients, add seasoning to g meter, when cooking time in seconds. Because too much emphasis on stand
22、ardization to make western dishes, cooking into a mechanical work, thus the robot can be used instead. (2) the Chinese cooking at random and characteristics. Westerners are hard to understand Chinese cooking is not accurate and standardized, seem to be very casual. In Chinese recipes for the dishes
23、of raw materials to prepare quantity, the quantity of add spices often describe very fuzzy, usually expressed as a little, half bowl, a spoon, and so on, and what a spoon and bowl, is a little exactly how much quantity, there never was a definite standard. In Chinese cooking, the characteristics of
24、major cuisine and flavor is different, even if is the same in a cuisine dishes, also due to different hobbies characteristics of chefs, and choose different dishes and spices. Even a chef cooking the same dishes, often depending on the season, occasion, dining people different identity, taste and ad
25、just accordingly. The randomness characteristics of Chinese cooking, Chinese food dishes are rich and colorful. 2.3 the differences in eating habits In the process of cooking, Chinese like to add vinegar, ginger, garlic, onion, pepper and other seasoning, its role is helping, sterilization, stimulat
26、e appetite, promote digestion, etc.; Westerners dont like MSG when used in cooking, mainly because MSG contains sodium, eating too much is bad for health. Most Chinese people like to go out every day to buy fresh ingredients for cooking, while the westerners often is at once a week to buy all the fo
27、od in the refrigerator, every day is eat frozen food, canned and salted and eat number eight times and 6 times respectively in the number of Chinese people eat, and the cans and pickled products mainly contain preservatives and pigment and so on, tend to be bad for health. In terms of diet, the Chin
28、ese eat vegetables every day is far more than the westerners, westerners eat plenty of protein foods every day, but because of too little edible cellulose and affect the function of intestines and stomach, so compared with Chinese people, their digestive system disease, the proportion of cancer is m
29、uch higher; Chinese people tend to be relatively eat whole grains, and refined grains such as westerners often like to eat white flour, the reality is, coarse grains more nutrients than refined grains; Chinese people prefer to use vegetable oil cooking dishes, while westerners like to use high chole
30、sterol fat, but also consume a lot of butter. 3 conclusion To sum up, under the background of globalization, cross-cultural communication can promote food culture constantly realize compatible complementary, present a new situation of diversified development. In Peoples Daily life, objectively exist
31、 in diet culture communication, and in the world economic and cultural integration, became in communication between different cultures and fusion of one of the carrier. As a kind of culture, its role is increasingly strengthened, and the role of any other single force of globalization much more, but
32、 are quietly changing people around the world. Therefore, in intercultural communication, pay attention to the diet culture differences exist, can promote people to deepen the understanding between each other, fully enjoy eating and give people different feelings, thus further strengthen cultural communication between complementary and integration, and further enhance the friendship.
